Our world (particularly the well-to-do Western corner of it that most of you occupy) has become busier, more complex, highly competitive and very, very full of distractions.

The competition for our attention has dramatically increased and many are feeling overwhelmed as a result. It’s no wonder really. When our attention is scattered or divided (think multi-tasking for example) productivity, creativity, quality of work, quality of life, our relationships and our well being are all compromised.

Fortunately, it’s not too late to regain control. It's our attention that’s under assault, so it’s our attention we need to fortify.
